I made truffles last night for our neighbors the Munderlohs and didn’t take a picture of them to show them off so I stole the picture above. Today I put them in a gift box and delivered them.
They’re so easy and fun (messy fun) to make and can be quite decadent. I wanted to add some rum but since they weren’t for me I refrained. I found the recipe here. I used cocoa powder, coconut and chopped almonds for coatings. I think I’ll make more next year and keep a box for myself.

Gingerbread Waffles just sounded good this morning. When it comes to waffles I don’t stray too far from Bisquick, maybe I’ll add blueberries, chocolate chips or banana, vanilla and sugar sometimes, but nothing crazy. I found a recipe for these that turned out to be more complicated and took way longer than I’d really felt up to. Other than the fact that I cooked them too long and Phil doesn’t like gingerbread they turned out… eh, okay. I think I’ll go back to Bisquick next time.

At least someone found a good use for them.

Love him or not, I think we can all agree, Elvis should never have recorded this one.

Snowman for Lily

My mom has started a tradition of giving her grandchildren a different ornament each year. Then when they move away from Mama and Daddy they will have their own collection. This year’s ornaments are now on the tree!

2009 Bear for Clara

And Lily sat at the table trying to decide what she wanted for Christmas.

She finally made her choice.
